Chapter 10: Substitutionary Death

This road... Lu Zhen felt somewhat familiar with it

The smell of burnt tires made Lu Zhen cough, and Lu Zhentao, aware of his asthma, hurriedly supported him to leave

Just as Lu Zhen had anticipated, he felt the onset of suffocation in an instant. Lu Zhen hurriedly stopped and took out a pill from his pocket, swallowing it in one gulp

Lu Zhencai paid no attention to what Yin Xia was saying. Listening to the continuous clinking sound coming from his upper pocket, the sound of pills colliding with the bottle gave him a sense of reassurance

A sharp honk of a car startled Lu Zhen, and upon opening his eyes, he realized he was standing in the middle of the road

Lu Zhen saw the driver push aside the airbag with his hand, slowly maneuvering the car around the accident site, and then pressed the accelerator, causing a plume of black smoke to billow from the exhaust as he drove away

Lu Zhen then remembered that it was He Jiazhu who had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly asked: "Is he dead?"

Lu Zhen had not felt the warmth of his father's hand for a long time, and could not help but say: "I dreamed that you had passed away, just in that car accident."

Lu Zhentao looked at Lu Zhen with a strange expression, just as he was wondering if he had perhaps gone a bit too far, Lu Zhen suddenly lunged forward and embraced him

It is truly remarkable that the * picture * book does not have any background regarding Xie Tianlin's family, as a life has been privately settled just like that; no amount of money can bring a person back.

In recent years, Lu Zhen has tried to avoid exercise, as the rapid breathing induced by intense movement could very well cost him his life

Lu Zhen put on his clothes and came out to run. It had only been 5 minutes, and he was already out of breath. Looking at Yin Xia beside him, who seemed to be doing just fine, he realized that his physical condition was actually worse than that of a girl

Dad! Lu Zhen shouted loudly

What terrified Lu Zhen the most was that He Jiazhu's posture when he fell to the ground was exactly the same as that of his father when he had fallen at that time

Lu Zhentao had never heard of this name, and he looked at Lu Zhen with a puzzled expression, smiling as he said, "Are you still dreaming about someone else's girl?"

What a wonderful ancestor!

Whenever Lu Zhentao recalls the car accident that day, he feels a lingering fear. Later, he and Lu Zhen were notified by the police to provide evidence. While watching the surveillance footage, they saw that the white sedan, after hitting a person, narrowly brushed past him and Lu Zhen, spinning around once before coming to a stop beside them

"Little brat, little brat..."

"In the middle of the night, are you trying to throw your life away?" Yin Xia chased after Lu Zhen

Just as Lu Zhentao hesitated, Lu Zhen had already arrived, and at the same time, a white sedan sped over, honking loudly

It has been a whole year since anyone called me 'little brat'. I used to find it annoying, but now I realize it was a term of endearment, and my nose tinged with emotion, almost bringing me to tears

As Lu Zhen approached, he saw that the person lying in the pool of blood was He Jiazhu. At this moment, his limbs were severely fractured, and one of his shoes was nowhere to be found.

In the midst of his sadness, Lu Zhen also discovered a problem, which was that Yin Xia was not by his side

Lu Zhentao looked at Lu Zhen with a strange expression, as these questions were something he should have known. Why was he asking them again? So he patiently replied, "You already know, it's settled privately."

At this moment, the white sedan on the left, which had already been damaged, started up again, and the harsh and unpleasant sound of the engine clearly indicated that it was malfunctioning

"Don't mention it, it's all in the past, it's just a pity for your classmate." Lu Zhentao sighed

"Little rascal, why are you crying just after waking up?" Lu Zhentao affectionately patted his back; no matter how old Lu Zhen was, he would always be a child in Lu Zhentao's eyes

What about the driver who caused the accident?" Lu Zhen asked anxiously

"You little brat, don't think that just because you're looking at me like that, I won't scold you. What time is it? Why aren't you getting up? Are you not going to do business anymore?" Lu Zhentao said this, but in his heart, he felt an immense pain, as he had never scolded Lu Zhen since he was a child

Drip

Lu Zhen was calculating in his mind how many times he had returned to the past. By his reckoning, there should still be 12 pills left, which should be sufficient.

What is going on

Lu Zhen heard a familiar voice and suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that he was still lying on that worn-out mattress. The surrounding ornaments and clothes were just as they had been a year ago, showing little change.

The car accident did occur; it simply transferred to another person, and that person turned out to be a classmate who had once intentionally come to save my father

Wait a moment. Lu Zhen covered his mouth and nose, looking at the person lying not far away, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Lu Zhentao heard his voice and turned back in surprise, not understanding why Lu Zhen would appear here; at this moment, he should have been taking care of the shop.

And - come the picture book, come on, Lu Zhen thought to himself, hoping that the asthma would act up sooner.

Then Lu Zhen noticed the chaos surrounding him, he and his father were standing at the edge of the disorder. Not far away, the left front side of a white sedan had already crumpled in, and the glass of the driver's cabin was completely shattered.

Private settlement

Cough cough

"What about Yin and Xia?" Lu Zhen quickly stood up

Ke Luzhen stood frozen in place, for he saw that the driver was none other than Xie Tianlin, and the girl in the passenger seat, who was holding her forehead and looking somewhat dazed, had long, straight black hair

Suddenly, Yin Xia let out a cry of pain, crouching on the ground while holding her lower abdomen, her expression filled with extreme agony, yet Lu Zhen did not stop and continued to run straight ahead

Lu Zhen gasped for breath, feeling as if his throat was about to be blocked. He could no longer pay attention to the direction in which the car had disappeared, and collapsed onto the ground, the anxious voice of his father still echoing in his ears

With a loud bang, Lu Zhen tightly closed his eyes. However, despite feeling a rush of air coming towards them, neither he nor his father was harmed.

Lu Zhen began to cough, the smell of burning rubber mixed with the scent of blood was unpleasant, and he faintly sensed the impending feeling of suffocation

"Hmm, dead on the spot www.hetushucom." Lu Zhentao looked at Lu Zhen with confusion, as he should have known about this matter.

Indeed, this road was seen by Lu Zhen in the surveillance video; it is precisely the section where his father had the accident, and there happens to be a familiar figure ahead!

Upon hearing the sound of the whistle, Lu Zhen suddenly pulled his father over, and immediately afterward, they heard the piercing sound of the tires scraping against the ground

Just then, someone pushed the door open, and Lu Zhen was startled, but when he saw it was his father, he was taken aback

Lu Zhen was anxious and, disregarding his asthma, hurriedly waved his hand to signal the nearby vehicles to stop, so that he could quickly cross the road to his father and obstruct his actions

I am fine," Lu Zhentao shook his head

Oh no, I must hurry up!

"No, Yin Xia, it's Yin Xia, Dad." After Lu Zhen finished speaking, he realized that a year ago, his current life had changed, and he had not been with Yin Xia.

"Dad, are you alright?" Lu Zhen felt an overwhelming excitement in his heart as he saw his father up close once again

Lu Zhentao was also unaware of what had happened, but the sound just now was very close, and the scattered shards of broken glass and debris on the ground instinctively made one feel that a car accident had occurred
